BACKGROUND Until this time fossil energy is apprehensively consumed and causing the decrease of energy resources besides

negative effect of increasing Greenhouse Gases concentration, that is increasing of surface temperature and creating inconducive environment. Solar as the biggest energy resource should be use optimally for Indonesia area. Diversification of energy is a final step to get another resources so release us of dependently fossil resources. Absolutely, it is a clean and environmental friendly energy resource . This advantage should be considered as the future energy supply in Indonesia. At least, there are three reason to improve solar technology in Indonesia, Firstly, Indonesia has enourmous solar illumination due to its geographycal position in tropical region. Secondly, the electricity distribution in Indonesia not covering any remote or isolated areas , especially in East Indonesia Region. Lastly, this type of energy has no pollution releases and good supporting on preventing global warming. In Indonesia, any remote area still have no electricity, then it is reasonable to have stand alone design of photovoltaics electricity generation for both household lighting and water pumping purpose. The use of solar powered water pump will be directed to home use in remote areas that not covered electricity distribution from PLN grid. This will help remote area inhabitants to have their own stand alone-photovoltaic water pump. Then it will be the part of remote area development in Indonesia This type of water pump system use Maximum Power Point Tracker(MPPT) method to improve efficiency. Maximum Power Point Tracker(MPPT) is a method of seeking

maximum point from power and input voltage characteristics curve in solar panel application. Maximum Power Point Tracker(MPPT) system with the support of DC-DC converter is applied to regulate output voltage on solar panel. It will force solar panel power to maximum value at various light intensity. By analyzing input resources result from solar panel conversion and by applying peak capacity characteristics of solar panel, the efficiency of output power should have to increase to maximum value.
